Usage

Basic usage

{{WikiProject Star Trek|class=|importance=}}

Standard usage

This should cover recently started articles.

{{WikiProject Star Trek|class=Stub|importance=Low|needs-picture=yes}}

Parameters

class – valid values are fa, a, ga, b, c, start, stub, fl, list, na (case-insensitive). See the project's quality scale for details. Setting an explicit value of NA is rarely necessary; for this, either leave |class= blank or omit the parameter.
importance – valid values are: top, high, mid, low, na (case-insensitive). See the project's importance scale for details. Setting an explicit value of NA is rarely necessary; for this, either leave |importance= blank or omit the parameter.
listas – This parameter, which is the equivalent of the DEFAULTSORT sortkey that should be placed on all biographical articles, is a sortkey for the article talk page (e.g. for Gene Roddenberry, use |listas=Roddenberry, Gene so that the talk page will show up in the R's and not the G's of the various assessment and administrative categories; similarly, for topics with titles beginning with an article such as "the" or "a" - e.g. for The Cage (Star Trek: The Original Series), use |listas=Cage (Star Trek: The Original Series), The so that the talk page will show up in the C's). This is important because it is one source used by those who set DEFAULTSORT on the article; consider also setting the DEFAULTSORT for the article when setting this parameter. For more information about this, please see Wikipedia:Categorization of people § Ordering names in a category.
If the article is using {{WikiProject banner shell}} then it is preferable to add |listas= to that template instead of a project banner template. Putting the parameter on more than one template is not required.
merge – set |merge=yes if an editor is suggesting that this article be merged with another.
needs-picture – set |needs-picture=yes to flag as needing a picture.
- This parameter populates Category:Star Trek articles needing images.
category – set |category=no if, and only if, a banner is being used for demonstration or testing purposes, to prevent unnecessary or undesirable categorization. Otherwise, omit this parameter.
